ABOUT 

​Eliana Theologides Rodriguez is a playwright, screenwriter, and dancer who was born on the exact day that Bill Clinton said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”
It was formative in ways she’s still unpacking.

​

Her plays include Indian Princesses (2025 World Premiere at La Jolla Playhouse, 2025 Bonnie Hammerschlag National Capital New Play Festival, 2024 Terrence McNally Fellowship, 2023/2024 Playwrights Realm Writing Fellowship), Marble Rooftop (2024 DNA Workshop at La Jolla Playhouse, 2024 O'Neill NPC Finalist, 2020 John Golden Award for Excellence in Playwriting), Poor Queenie (2025 World Premiere at Subtext Studio, 2021 Goldberg Play Prize Finalist, 2020 Kennedy Center MFA Playwrights Workshop), and JuniPerfect (2021 commission with Adventure Theatre MTC).​ She is currently under commission at South Coast Repertory and is a proud member of EST Youngblood and the Clubbed Thumb Early Career Writers Group.

When she is not writing, Eliana can be found crying in public, eating in private, walking about, doing lots of things really, doing really cool things.
